Chapter 169

ps: The Internet is crazy today, so I will update two updates together. This is the first update...

The main suspect has been caught. Wan Lei will not care about the following interrogation and hunting down the fish that slipped through the net. He will let Zhang Yan and Zhao Xueer do it. It can also be regarded as training their abilities. He also has to rush home to see Fu Wei. The so-called heaven and earth

Big, not as big as his wife. It doesn’t matter whether he loves beauty rather than country, or whether he is immersed in the Tomb of Heroes of Gentle Township. He is such a family-oriented person.

Fu Wei must have been starved for many days. Fu Wei's body was very weak. The plump figure he had developed over the past few months was all gone. His pale and blue face looked distressed. This made Wan Lei feel sorry for Liu Wan.

The gang members' hatred became even stronger: they didn't treat hostages like this. They couldn't bear it even if they didn't have water and food for several days.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, Fu Wei, who had been unconscious for a long time, finally woke up. Seeing her husband standing by, her eyes started to flood. Wan Lei didn't let her talk anymore and took some cooked bird's nest porridge to feed her. These bird's nests

The porridge was sent by Mrs. Tie. When Tie Xuan and other important party, government and military officials heard that she had been rescued, they were surprised and surprised.

It can only be described as a miracle that a person who had been issued a death certificate was rescued. If it had been anyone else, he would definitely not be able to tell whether the body was genuine or not, let alone quietly create suspicions and take advantage of trivial things.

The clues successfully solved the mystery.

After drinking a bowl of porridge, Fu Wei shook his head and stopped eating. Wan Lei wiped her mouth with a warm towel and gently closed her eyes, letting her sleep peacefully to replenish her strength. Waiting for her to fall asleep.

After that, he got up and left, because there was still a lot of things for him to deal with, so it fell to Miao Yi to take care of his wife.

In the Wanzhai Hall, almost all the important officials of the party, government, and military were present. They had been sitting there for a long time. When Wan Lei came out to meet the guests, he had to offer his congratulations, and then they sat down separately and continued talking. The dozen or so people present were all

He is the head of Shuntian Mansion, and we usually get along well with each other. Even if there are some minor conflicts and frictions, we can generally obey the overall situation and common interests.

As a conglomerate of interests, the question of who should be the boss is important, but it is not the most important. The most important thing is whoever can bring greater benefits to everyone can be the boss. Tie Xuan only served as the leader for two days.

The boss at the top, now that Wan Lei has come back, he no longer loves his position and has taken the initiative to hand over some of his power.

However, Wan Lei did not come to them to transfer power. He would not easily take back the power he gave away. Besides, people's energy is limited, and it is impossible to grab their beard and eyebrows. Some minor powers should be released.

And Wan Lei knows that as long as he holds on to military power and does not let go, all other powers that are in chaos will be just dregs and cannot change the world.

Although he handed over some administrative powers, he still had to retain the power to convene meetings of the party, government and military. No, after discussing the transfer of power, Wan Lei asked everyone to discuss how to clean up the mess in front of them.

Due to the kidnapping incident, the relationship between Shuntian Mansion and the imperial court, as well as the relationship with Madam Liu and her group, has naturally dropped to below freezing point. It is still unknown what actions the imperial court will take, but the cooperation with Madam Liu and her group

The relationship is likely to end here.

Affected by this, those big smugglers introduced by Mrs. Liu who often come to Shuntian Prefecture to do business are likely to be unable to come. Shuntian Prefecture's foreign trade will be severely hit, and may even lead to a backlog of many products. And now it is necessary to

To resettle tens of thousands of refugees, there is obviously a shortage of food. Without the income of artillery in exchange for food, the food security problem becomes even more serious.

There were many problems, and the biggest problem was the problem of food. Tie Xuan and other important political figures also felt that they were not recruited. The following people from the Military Commission began to whisper to each other. Although their voices were very low, those present could guess without listening.

Yes, their idea is to send troops to grab food from other countries.

Wan Lei really can't do this kind of thing. He can order the Peking Army to thresh the Mongols on the border, but he will not order to thresh the Ming Dynasty's grass valley. This is a matter of national identity. If

If you really attack your own compatriots, your reputation will spread to the Pacific Ocean. This is absolutely impossible.

After discussing for a long time, no feasible plan could be decided. Wan Lei couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. After all, Shuntian Prefecture was in a bad position regardless of its geographical location or economic strength. Once the food supply in the south was blocked, Shuntian Prefecture was blocked.

Throat. Although Shuntian Prefecture can trade with Bei Yuan, Bei Yuan also wants to ask for food from Shuntian Prefecture, and there is no food to sell.

It would be profitable if Shuntian Prefecture could do grain transit trade, but now the Yellow River Flood Zone has blocked the southern trade route. To the west is Shanxi, and the grain is only self-sufficient. There is nowhere to buy it. Looking east

, a piece of the Bohai Bay, Shuntian Prefecture has no seagoing ships and navy, and there are not even a few fishing boats. And even if there are ships going south, the court will not sell grain.

After thinking about it, there is only one way, and that is to make enough food and clothing by yourself, cultivate the existing cultivated land intensively, and strive to increase the output. As long as you can increase the output by one or two stones per acre, you can maintain food and clothing. However, increasing production and income is not a problem.

We have to wait until next year, but now the food shortage is right in front of us.

Now, including the newly harvested autumn grain, Shuntian Mansion only has about 500,000 shi of grain, and there are nearly 500,000 people in Shuntian Mansion. Even if the grain is spread equally among everyone's hands, it will not be enough to feed tomorrow's spring wheat harvest.

If there is no harvest during the season, people will starve to death.

In addition, those who have food in Peking City may not necessarily sell it. The hundreds of thousands of surplus grains in the hands of the government are still the army's food reserves. Even if they sell them all to those who are short of food, there will still be at least one hundred thousand.

The most critical issue is how to fill the gap in the stone.

The atmosphere at the venue was a bit solemn. Wan Lei couldn't sit still. He walked back and forth in the living room several times, gritted his teeth and said: "Damn it, I can't bear it this time! I will continue to communicate with Mrs. Liu and try to do more

Bring back some food."

"Sir, this is absolutely not allowed. If we put up with this, they will definitely think that our Peking Army is weak and can be bullied, and they may cause trouble in the future." Zhao Quanjie stood up and objected.

"Yes, we can't let this matter go like this. Let those thieving women write letters to their backstage and ask them to use grain to redeem people." Zhou Tianshou also said angrily, but his suggestion was not bad, and he immediately won the approval of everyone present.

Everyone's approval.

Seeing that everyone almost unanimously expressed their intention to report to the kidnappers, Wan Lei shook his head and said with a wry smile: "How much are the lives of those people worth? If they break up, they will definitely do something small and continue to sow discord between us.

It would be even worse if the relationship with the imperial court leads to a war."

"But if we just forget it, how can we swallow this breath, and how can the officers and soldiers explain it?" Zhao Quanjie asked rhetorically. In fact, since the kidnapping incident, there has been a war within the Peking Army, preparing to go to war with the Ming Dynasty. Now.

Although the truth has been revealed, there is still nowhere to vent this long-standing emotion. If it is not handled well, it will seriously affect morale.

"Just tell the officers and soldiers that the reason why we don't send troops to fight is not because we are afraid of the enemy, but because there is no need to go to war. The enemy sends spies to harm us, so we should treat them in their own way. The imperial court has imperial guards.

We can also have elite loyal guards who can carry out latent sabotage, and we can give them back double the amount!"

After hearing what Wan Lei said, several important military figures below immediately agreed, thinking that this is what should be done, sending more operatives to sneak into the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the Ming Dynasty or Mrs. Liu's group, they all prank them.

Kill them. They engage in kidnapping and extortion, and so do we. Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Let’s see who can defeat whom.

It's just that Tie Xuan is a little scared. He has been an official since the Hongwu period. After so many years of bloodshed, he has seen countless colleagues fall under the butcher's knife of Jin Yiwei.

When he mentioned the name Jingzhongwei, he subconsciously felt that something was not good.

Wan Lei saw that Tie Xuan's face was a little pale, so he naturally knew what he was worried about. Everyone was afraid of spy rule. However, Wan Lei had no intention of engaging in spy rule. Although Jing Zhong Guard and Jin Yi Guard had similar functions and organizational structures,

But there is a difference in essence. The guns of the Jingzhong Guards are aimed at the outside world. As long as they are not insiders, they will not be found out and punished.

Of course, this is just a briefing. If Jingzhongwei is really to be established, it will not only have to hold a formal party meeting, but also go through preliminary preparations. If there is not an advance leadership team and a complete set of operating procedures and regulations, explain

No matter how much you get, it will be in vain. So Wan Lei patted Tie Xuan's hand and told him not to worry for the time being, and then continued the meeting to discuss how to deal with the relationship with Mrs. Liu and his group.

Now that Wan Lei, as the main victim, has gritted his teeth and endured it, although the military people still have some opinions, hearing Wan Lei's explanation of treating others in their own way, this can be regarded as an explanation for the following.

, so there is nothing to say, but the administrative officials have some doubts: Now that the relationship has broken down, it does not mean that we can just pretend that nothing happened. How to repair the relationship is also an annoying problem.

This issue is a problem for Tie Xuan and others, but not for Wan Lei. In the final analysis, it is a matter of face. It is very embarrassing to calmly go to negotiate with the enemy as if nothing has happened.

Yes, none of these old guys want to lose face.

Wan Lei didn't care. The so-called face was given by others, but face was lost by himself. He didn't think that showing weakness to others was a sign of weakness, so he took over Tan He carelessly. And he was very confident that he could talk about it.

He succeeded, not because he had hostages in his hands, but because he had what Mrs. Liu needed most, which was weapons!
